this was purchased as my daughter's 2019 easter dress, and while she has not tried it on yet, we have never had an issue with sizing. bonnie jean has been our go-to source for holiday dresses for the past several years, and i have been very happy with all of our purchases. i really have to say that this dress is even more remarkable in person. there always the chance that metallic fabric will come across gaudy or cheap looking--not the case with this dress. she is ***in love*** with the fact that it has pink, purple and blue in the design, and when she saw the jeweled waistline, she was besides herself, saying "i'm going to look gorgeous on easter!" bonnie jean, you have a winner!
